TL;DRAbstract
The preservation of biodiversity has received considerable attention over the last two decades in both the scientific community and in public policy debates. However, much of this attention in the public policy arena has centered on the domestic aspects of the problem. For example, the United States enacted a law (the Endangered Species Act) that established a policy of identifying and preserving endangered species. The international aspect of the loss of biodiversity has elicited less interest from OECD countries, although it was raised as a significant issue at the Stockholm Conference in 1972. While it has remained a widely discussed issue in scientific circles, biodiversity has not been accepted by national policy-makers as a vital global resource warranting preservation at an international level.
